Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: BS .. current DACs are the best. Only nostalgia keeps NOS/tube players alive.

I just flopped a $350 modern DAC, the Grant Fidelity Tube DAC-11, which I preferred in pure SS mode, ran it without the tube in fact.

It was every bit the equal of my Consonance CD 120 Linear, a NOS design. A remarkable accomplishment for such a modestly priced DAC.

That's what I'm getting at, even entry level DAC there days had are the equal of or eclipse NOS designs, making choice of the latter to avoid the dreaded 'digital' sound a thing of the past ... and that's just entry level ... spend a little and a NOS alternatives becomes entirely archaic.
